Twenty years ago I was reasonably happy in my life. I had a full-time job that paid pretty well, I had met Best Beloved, and life was okay. Not sure where it went wrong.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

20 years ago, I was an apprentice electrician. I wasn't married, I didn't have kids and I didn't have a mortgage. I didn't have a PC either, so it's not all doom and gloom getting older.  _________________My lowest spec operational system- AT desktop case, 200W AT PSU, Jetway TX98B Socket 7, Intel Pentium 75Mhz, 2x16MB EDO RAM, 270MB Quantum Maverick HDD, ATI Rage II+ graphics, Soundblaster 16 CT2230, MS-DOS/Win 3.11 My Flickr

I thought about it and it's actually 20 years this year since I started working in IT. Very different job then mind.

This particular thread has made me realise that I have a lot of memories of when I was younger (approaching 8yo in this case), but overall they're neither 'good' or 'bad'  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

20 years ago I'd just swapped primary schools, was discovering that I was OK at playing football, and that I was reasonably proficient at beating up the school bullies, before dabbling in being a bully myself, to my lasting shame.

Within the last couple of weeks I've been considering putting a poll up asking about bullying at school. Perhaps we need a two weeks ago thread.
